On the foredeck, Aban Baijie shouted: "Netted one!"

Liu Guan ran over, lined up everyone to watch, and under the moonlight, there was a person lying in the net. Naked, white from sea foam, his eyes were wide open, but he had no luster like dead fish eyes, and his lips were slightly open, revealing a large buck tooth. An arrow pierced his skull, and he was already dead.

The rough men on the boat looked at each other, weren't they big fish, how could they be humanoids.

The general soldier pushed the crowd away, crouched down to examine the dead man, and broke his ears to the side, which had gills. He slowly stood up and said with a heavy heart: "This is the East China Sea Eel. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Legend has it that there is an evil stone island in the depths of the East China Sea, and the people on this island have witchcraft, and they can change their bodies and turn into fish, turtles, and water birds. These eels do not produce, but only plunder ships for a living, and no one has ever been able to escape, so we didn't want to run into it, and this luck is really good. ”

Chongwen sighed and said, "I'm still not good at learning, and I'm not sure about it." ”

Chief Bingshun smiled bitterly: "It has nothing to do with the magic skills of the big officials, it is said that the evil stone island is not fixed in one place, it is clear that the east and west, the south and the north, there is no certain direction, it is not that you can avoid it if you want to, and whoever encounters it can only consider yourself unlucky." ”

Bai Jie looked at Liu Guan and asked, "This bastard demon island is stuck on the waterway of the country, what should I do?"

Finance Minister Huang Qian reminded: "There is not much food stored on the ship, and the fresh water is only enough for the whole ship for two days. ”

Liu Guan patted the ship's side buttress and said, "Continue south, we don't have to provoke these eels, fortunately, this place is not far from the Qiguo archipelago, and we can always meet human ships." ”

Everyone agreed, Liu Guan pointed to the dead eel and said in disgust: "Throw this demon into the sea to feed Wang Ba, don't be disgusted to the third woman." ”

The bird boat continued to sail south, this time with full sails and the boat sailing, and everyone wanted to flee from this land of right and wrong. Perhaps it was the power of the bowl that frightened the eels, and they were not harassed all night, and the sailors did not remove their armor and their blades from their hands, and they dozed off against the planks of the ship to recuperate.

A white fish belly appeared in the sky, and the sun was about to come out, Liu Guan looked at the gradually whitening sea and said: "As long as they are afraid of firearms, they will not be afraid of them when the day dawns." ”

The chief soldier said worriedly: "Not necessarily, the eel people are difficult to entangle, and few people can escape them." ”

Liu Guan laughed cruelly and said, "That's because they didn't meet the second master of the Liu family!" Ah Qian, send the handcuffs on the boat, I want to see if their skin and flesh are hard or the medicine is hard. ”

Huang Qian responded, and went to the stern floor to open the warehouse, and soon there were 2 armor soldiers on the ship equipped with firearms, and the rest were armed with bows and crossbows. Under the left rib of the hand is a medicine bag, and under the right rib is an iron, which is filled with a crust and tamped, and a wooden horse is plugged to prevent air leakage. Wrap the fire rope around your waist, hold the wooden handle behind the tail hammer, and once the armor is life, immediately ignite the fire rope, and ignite the ** in the medicine room to shoot. This hand-held gun is a unique weapon of Dakang, with great power, a range of 80 steps, and 50 steps can break through the double iron armor. The flaw is that the reload is too slow and the accuracy is insufficient.

The day was bright, the ships were sailing south, and the sailors were munching on dry rations and playing rough jokes with each other, and there was no pre-war gloom. After the battle last night, the sailors' fear of the eels was gone. The Kraken took advantage of some of the darkness, and if they could see things, how could the eelmen be the opponents of the armed warriors, and if they didn't come, they would be sent to death.

The lookout on the cloak shouted: "Here they are, this time seabirds!"

Liu Guan spit out the grain in his mouth and scolded: "Straight mother thief!

He strode to the upper deck and shouted, "Little ones, the demons are here again, this time let them have a meal." The gunners must listen to the command of the team leader, and the five guns and one team should fire together, and they must not shoot in waves without a password. After the fire gun has finished hitting the bow and crossbow hand, covering the gun hand charge, taking turns to strike, and not cutting off, have you all listened?"

The sturdy sailors shouted, "That's it! ”

In the captain's cabin, Chongwen heard shouts outside and knew that the eel people were coming. He grabbed a goose feather knife, took the big bow on his back, and said to the catfish boy, "Let's go, let's go to the terrace." ”

Catfish boy yesterday an arrow in the middle of the sea monk, although the person is small and weak, and did not hit the kraken hard, but also excited all night did not close the eyes, the sense of accomplishment for anyone in an arrow is the same, not to mention a teenager at the beginning of the world. He took his bow and arrows on his back, ran out with Chongwen, and screamed: "Watch me catch him alive this time." ”

Running to the terrace, Lin Yanghao's first-class soldiers were already waiting in the battlement, ignited the fire rope, and could shoot at any time. Looking out to sea, the western sky was dark and crowded with hook-billed albatrosses, these seabirds were huge in size, with wings spread beyond the height of a man. On the surface of the sea, flying fish that are more than one person long jump out of the sea from time to time and chase after them.

Lin Yanghao walked to Chongwen's side and said in a whisper that was almost inaudible: "Your Majesty's golden body, don't take any risks, please go back to the cabin, there will be our own punishment outside." ”

Chongwen said lightly: "I am also a sailor, how can I sit back and watch my partner desperately ignore it." Go ahead, don't worry about me. ”

Seeing the albatross hovering and chirping over the fleet, and refusing to come down to pounce, Chongwen bent his bow and arrows, his eyes were fixed on an albatross, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the eagle arrow soared into the air like lightning, hitting the big bird. The bird screamed and fell straight into the sea, and the ship erupted in a thunderous cheer.

At this moment, Emperor Chongwen felt the true glory, and this cheer did not come from the courtiers who knelt down in the Fengtian Temple, but from these comrades who fought side by side, which was a heartfelt admiration for the warriors in the army, without any falsehood.

Lin Yanghao was also taken aback by Chongwen's archery, the kraken was close at hand, and he had no time to persuade Chongwen. He pulled Huang Qian and said, "You and the catfish boy protect the officials, and you must not lose anything." Huang Qian raised a divine crossbow in his hand and shouted: "Don't worry, it's okay to have it." ”

The flock of birds still hovered over the bird boat, unhurried. At that moment, a flying fish suddenly jumped up from the starboard side of the birdboat, crossed the upper deck, and rushed into the sea from above the port side. The flying fish flew through the air, the sea water and viscous body fluids sprinkled all over the face, and the hard pelvic fins cut through the iron helmet of a sailor, and the frightened sailor was stunned, if he cut it five inches lower and cut it on the neck, he would definitely die.

A large school of flying fish then swarmed in and skimmed over the deck, staggering the armed sailors who collided with them. The distance was too close, and the sailors did not dare to fire their arrows or guns, so they could only pick up their guns and bow tires and fight with the flying fish, and there was chaos on the deck. Liu Guan knocked down a flying fish with a short gun in his left hand, and pulled out his waist knife with his right hand to cut it, while shouting: "Abandon the gun and draw the knife, cut them to death!"

Just as the sailor put the bow and arrow behind him and drew his sword to slash the flying fish, the birds in the sky no longer had to worry about the threat of the arrows, and suddenly swooped down, waving their wings into a dark cloud, covering a large area of the sea and sky.

Dark clouds instantly covered the deck, and the Kraken fiercely pecked the sailor's head, and the hard claws tore at the sailor's chest and back, and the armor was torn to pieces, and the wound was deep in the bones, and blood splattered out in an instant, and shouts were heard on the deck.

The sailors were also battle-hardened warriors, and no one was frightened by the Kraken's momentum, and the sharp blades in their hands were also slashed at the Kraken, and the slashed Kraken wailed, and the broken flesh and bones flew everywhere, and large feathers flew like snowflakes. The man and the demon are entangled, and they are caught in a chaotic scuffle, and the roar of the man and the scream of the kraken are mixed into a loud bang, and it is a battle between the demons.

The terrace was high, and it was not harassed by the flying fish, and the first-class sailors above were still in good order. A commander Lin Yanghao's waist knife pointed directly at the sky above the front deck and shouted: "Open the guns, shoot them!" The five hand-held guns roared in unison, and the white mist instantly filled the surroundings, and the high-speed medicine tore open the skin and flesh of the seabirds and flying fish, and the five organs of the kraken were shattered, and the bones were broken and tendons were broken.

An iron piece struck the hard sail canopy, shattering the bamboo splinters, and the bamboo chips shot out in all directions, killing the seabirds in mid-air.

The firebolt hand retracts the charge after firing the gun, the crossbowman steps forward to open the bow and release the arrows, and the steel armor-piercing cone arrow cluster can shoot the kraken through the side, almost every arrow takes a life. The two teams of sailors took turns shooting, and the kraken ghosts that were killed cried wolf howls, and suffered heavy casualties.

Chongwen and the other three cooperated tacitly and shot the kraken in mid-air. Chongwen shot far, the catfish shot close, the arrow was not in vain, and Huang Qian's crossbow arrow was shot in the air, and he pulled out his waist knife to prevent the kraken from hurting people at close range.

The eels are mad, but the blades are even more terrifying. The sailors were armoured, with long beaks, hard fins, and minions that did little damage, but the sharp iron was merciless. For 1,000 years, the eel people have been rampant in the East China Sea, which ship has not changed color when they hear it, where has they encountered such a fierce counterattack, these Dakang sailors are really ruthless.

A snow-white albatross let out a long chirp, and the surviving flock of birds flew high and fled the deck. The flying fish no longer shuttled and collided, hiding in the depths of the sea, and did not dare to show their heads again. Liu Guan did not want to let them go, and he shouted loudly to order the sailors to pick up their firearms and crossbows and open fire into the air. Another albatross was hit and fell into the sea, and the krakens were frightened and flew into the clouds to take refuge.

The battle came to an abrupt end, hand-to-hand combat lasted only a cup of tea, and the battlefield was extremely tragic. The naked dead were spread all over the deck, and the wounded rolled and wailed, either beheaded or rotted by the bullets and arrows.

Most of the sailors were also wounded, and some of their eyeballs were pecked out, and it was very scary to hang on their cheeks. Dark blood flowed everywhere, sticking to piles of broken flesh and bones, broken blades and arrows everywhere,

The tall sail canopy was beaten to tatters, the deck, the battlements, the parapets, the bollards, and the water presses were full of knife marks, the side support cables of the sails were cut in all directions, and the rope ends of the thick linen cables were scattered everywhere. On the bow of the ship, 500 pounds of copper hair, there were two eels, one of whom was not yet dead, and let out a dying wail.

In this battle, the sailors lost 1 more and seriously wounded 2, and together with last night's battle, almost a single soldier was killed or wounded. The dead head and face were pounced on by the kraken, and the trachea under the neck was torn out by sharp claws. The sailor was very brave, and before he died, he cut off one of the albatross's legs, and the demon's blood spurted wildly and died, and he fell on the sailor.

Liu Guan spat out a mouthful of bloody spit, and scolded hatefully: "The pickled evil animals are really difficult!" and then ordered: "Whether the demon is dead or alive, cut off the head, and if it enters the mother, it will be forked into the sea!"

On the deck, the sailors began to clear the battlefield in twos and threes, and no one noticed that a huge hook-billed albatross suddenly burst out of the clouds, with a wingspan of a foot, and the big bird swooped down on the terrace like lightning, and two huge fan-like claws grabbed the shoulder and back skull of the catfish cub, and flew up quickly, and flew away to the west facing the sea.

The six-in-one small hat fell on the terrace, the bow rolled and fell into the sea, and the catfish boy was in mid-air, being held by the kraken, and he didn't have time to scream, let alone struggle to resist, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

The change was so fast that there was no reaction even if it was close, and the sailors on deck were even more dumbfounded. Huang Qian was about to pull the hanging knife when he raised the crossbow, and Chongwen slapped the crossbow arrow down on the deck, shouting, "Be careful of hurting people!" Seeing the kraken fly farther and farther away with the catfish boy, the sailors were helpless.

Liu Guan looked at the kraken in the distance, snorted in frustration, and threw the knife in his hand on the deck. Aban Baijie shook his head and said, "The demon is so fierce, I'm afraid that the kid is going to end." ”
